WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU DO?
Someone asked me these simple questions when trying to help me market a new project. I paused. I took 5 deep breaths. Then I put pencil to paper and this is what happened… WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU DO? Who are you? A dreamer A writer A yoga teacher A lover A love craver […]
3 cliches that came through when I almost got arrested in Central America
You know all those times your Dad reminds you to bring a photocopy of your passport with you when you travel? As it turns out, that ain’t worth squat.
As I found out upon insisting I be boarded onto the next plane to the true North Strong and free, internationally, it is virtually impossible to travel without a passport no matter how many governmental connections you have in your home country and pieces of ID cards you posess.

Every single woman that looks in the mirror sees a reflection of a real woman staring back at her! I’m pretty sure it is my genetics and chromosomes that determine whether I am a real woman.

Why I took my clothes off for instagram
Life is full of transitions. Recent struggles and setbacks left me in a major funk. I was feeling vulnerable, feeling exposed, feeling low, feeling down and out. I decided to express myself through asana – naked. I wanted to strip free of all my walls, break the barriers I had put up myself. I wanted […]
